Best thing I’ve ever done to give me a more stable system is to use the program called Lasso
I noticed that on my old i78700k processor I get around 5-10 fps more with hyper threading turned OFF
The 2nd thing I noticed that core 6 (or 5th on a scale of 0-5) is hammered hard; it was fluctuatibng between 90%-100%. The other cores were used around 60%
With Lasso I prevented every other process from using that core; Littlenavmap, Neofly, my broswer, logitec controller app and anything else I noticed was using even just the slightest cpu power whilst gaming
The result is now that 6th core is used 99-100% of the time; the other 5 look about the same BUT since the nothing other than FS2020 is using the 6th core my game runs smoother and I’ve gained around 10 fps
My i7 8700k with the 1080ti and 32gb of ram with game graph settings; both LOD’s at 200 and most settings on ULTRA at 1080p is giving me a pretty consistent 35-60 fps with the GA planes with it only dipping below 30fps around airports like JFK
I’d like to see ATC handled on a separate core cause that clearly glitches the game when a call out is made and I noticed that if I pop out anything like ATC onto my second monitor; that extra window costs me 5-10 fps so I’m not sure if thats a CPU load or a GPU load causing that loss
